These will be released worldwide, so no matter where you live, you’ll be able to watch them on their scheduled release date.

I wanted to save it here. Users love their true crime.

Directed and written by Susannah Grant, the film follows a writer who takes time out of her busy life to travel to Morocco, where she begins a passionate love affair.

It ranks among the best on Netflix in this genre.

Some true classics often come and go on and off on Netflix, but one of Al Pacino’s defining roles in Scarface fits firmly into that category. This movie will be rotated back to Netflix on the 1st of every month for a limited period of time. Often cited in people’s lists of the best movies of all time, this movie is actually only at the top of most people’s minds with The Godfather, and if you’re comparing it to , you’re in good company. Set in Miami, scarface A peek into the mind of an antihero before Walter White and Tony Soprano, and insight into how a Cuban immigrant became one of the biggest drug dealers operating today. will give you. Still looking like a billion dollars, Pacino gave a career-defining performance alongside Michelle Pfeiffer.
unhinged (2020)
Coming to Netflix:October 14th
When predicting what will be in the top 10, you can assume that action movies starring big movie stars like Russell Crowe are always a sure bet to make it to the top. That’s also true of Unhinged, which seems to be more action-thriller oriented than Netflix’s BEEF. The film tells the story of an insecure man who becomes increasingly furious with a woman after a relatively innate confrontation at a busy intersection. Karen Pistorius and Gabriel Bateman are the other two big name actors in this movie, which was released in 2020 and directed by Derrick Bolte. Most reviews praise Russell’s performance, but he plays the role of the unhinged man a little too well. This movie is stressful from start to finish.

I don’t have high expectations regarding quality. Still, we expect it to be entertaining considering it was originally conceived, developed, and filmed as a two-part special for HBO Max. Peyton Listby and Michael Cimino are headlining the project, which tells the story of a boy who befriends the spirit of a 1920s girl who stays in his new home, an unlikely story across several decades. However, a deep bond is formed.
